Hmn...mixed feelings for a mixed bag here. Some tracks work ('Very Much Money' is pretty funny, 'Thirsty Ego Raps' has some great underlying samples) and a lot is just kinda shrugworthy (the cringey lyrics on 'Qualifiers' as others have pointed out).
He's not that far removed from guys like Cise Star or Substantial, but there's a lack of cohesion between how his samples and flow go together that makes this a little less compelling overall than I was hoping it would be. I'm not expecting primetime Big Boi, but a couple of good hooks would have done a world of good. At least at that point I'd feel a desire to revisit this. Pitchfork gave it an 8 but I think I'll go halfsies. Brick Body Kids Still Daydream isn't perfect either but it soars over this.
